Review of the Cuisinart CJE-1000 5-Speed Juice Extractor

Multi-Purpose and Function

The Cuisinart CJE-1000 1000-Watt 5-Speed Juice Extractor is an all-purpose juice extractor that can be used for fruit and vegetable juices made fresh at home. It features a large feeding tube for sizeable fruits and vegetables, removable parts that are dishwasher safe, the Cuisinart exclusive foam management system. All of these options and features make it a good option for home juicing machines.

Smooth Design Features

This is a very solid countertop juicer. It has a streamlined look and several design features that help to incorporate it smoothly into your day – making juicing an easy part of your life. For example, the large pitcher can be used for serving or for refrigerator storing. The pulp container makes it easy to get rid of the pulp of the fruits and vegetables. It can power through a wide variety of fruits and vegetables including carrots, radishes, citrus and stone fruits. The Cuisinart CJE-1000 can handle them all.

Strengths

Efficient Juicing

This juicer is great at extracting the juice from the produce, meaning that you are left with a high quality of juice and the pulp comes out dry rather than soggy. That’s how you know it’s efficiently made as much juice as possible.

Easy Cleaning and Less Prep

When you’re trying to add juicing as a regular part of your routine, it’s important to find one that can fit into your busy day, and this Cuisinart juicer can do just that. It requires less prep work because of the wide opening, so you have to do less chopping. The parts pop out of the juicer and into the dishwasher for easy cleanup.

Higher Power, Less Noise

When compared to other juicers in the same price range, the CJE-1000 5-speed has a high wattage. Similar juicers tend to be 850 watts while this one is 1000. However, this extra power doesn’t mean extra noise. You’ll be surprised at just how quiet this juicer is.

Weaknesses

Does Not Grind Well

Keep in mind when purchasing that the CJE-1000 is an extractor as opposed to a juicer. It will discard a high level of pulp compared to juicers that are designed to actually grind some of the smaller and softer particles into the juice. This means that the Cuisinart 5 speed juicer makes a very smooth, pulp-free juice, but it will be lower in vitamins than a juicer than leaves pulp.

Some Leaking

The juice can actually leak into a hard to clean area under the blades of the Cuisinart CJE-1000. Although the removable parts are easy to clean, this area under the blades is not.

Overall Review

Although there may be some issues with leaking and the fact that it doesn’t grind much of the softer pulp and skin into the juice, this a good juicer. If you especially prefer juice that does not contain any pulp, you should be happy with the results of this one. You’ll be able to juice basically any fruit or vegetable with minimal prep work and generally easy cleanup.
